2 Projects

If you're going to attend and plan working on a project, please put it up here so other interested hackers can see what sorts of projects are afoot.

2.1 Compiler plugins for GHC

I plan on helping integrate and maintain compiler plugins for GHC. My work at the hackathon will be to try and get the current patch (allowing you to write Core optimizations) applied to GHC HEAD. Following that, my plan is to extend the functionality, so you can write Cmm passes as well.

2.2 Hashing-based containers

I plan to finish a first release of my new HashMap container, based on the hash array mapped trie data structure.

Hackers: Johan Tibell

2.3 music sequencer

It's a music sequencer in haskell, rather different from other sequencers out there. I'm (elaforge) planning on lazifying score interpretation, or if I'm done with that by the time the hackathon comes up, picking something from the list below:

language / score design

performance tuning (garbage reduction, parallelization, ...)

port to linux (i.e. write alsa midi or jack midi bindings)

alternate backends (osc, csound, lilypond, ...)

GUI / UI

if someone else is interested, whatever it is they're interested in!

Hackers: Evan Laforge

2.4 project watcher

Code to watch for changes to a project to automatically re-compile, run tests, etc. I have this working for me on Linux now. I would like to release this as an easy to use, platform independent package.

Hackers: Greg Weber

2.5 Yesod

I will probably work on the MongoDB backend for Persistent. If anyone has questions about web development with Yesod, or wants to hack on the framework, let me know.
